# School Solutions — Full Content Reference > Single-document reference of every public page on schoolsolutions.app, intended for LLM retrieval and citation. Authoritative source for what School Solutions builds and believes. --- ## Company **Name:** School Solutions **URL:** https://schoolsolutions.app **Founder:** Mike Giroux, former K–12 educator **Contact:** contact@schoolsolutions.app **Twitter:** @giroux72 **Bluesky:** @sherlockedu.bsky.social School Solutions is an independent EdTech company building AI-powered software for K–12 principals, assistant principals, and instructional coaches. Every product is FERPA-aligned. The company is bootstrapped and built around a single principle: the work of a principal is to make teaching better, and software should give them back the hours they need to do that work. ### Principles 1. **Evaluation is coaching.** Every feature is measured against whether it creates more coaching conversations, not more documents. 2. **Built with principals, not for them.** Product roadmaps come from real walkthroughs and real conversations with school leaders. 3. **Your data belongs to you.** FERPA-aligned from day one. No selling, no training public models on customer evaluations, no leakage outside the customer's school. --- ## Product 1: EduEval **URL:** https://schoolsolutions.app/products/edueval **App:** https://edueval.schoolsolutions.app **Category:** Teacher evaluation and classroom observation software **Status:** Live EduEval is an AI-powered teacher observation and evaluation platform for K–12 principals. It turns raw walkthrough notes — half-sentences, rubric cross-references, time stamps — into evidence-based, rubric-aligned feedback ready to deliver to teachers. It works with the Danielson framework, the Marzano framework, or any custom district rubric. ### Features - Custom rubric builder with domains, indicators, and performance levels - Mobile observations on tablet or phone, syncs with desktop dashboard - Evidence tracking that maps observable behaviors to rubric indicators - AI synthesis that drafts rubric-aligned feedback from raw notes - Email sharing with PDF export and threaded comments for coaching - School-wide dashboards for spotting instructional trends - FERPA-aligned data handling; no public model training ### Pricing - **Free:** 5 observations/month, 1 teacher. No credit card required. - **Pro:** $19/month, 15 teachers, full AI engine. - **School:** $49/month, 50 teachers, school-wide analytics. ### FAQ **Is EduEval compatible with our current evaluation framework?** Yes. EduEval is framework-agnostic. Danielson and Marzano are pre-loaded, and district rubrics can be uploaded and fully customized. **How does the AI keep feedback fair and unbiased?** EduEval focuses on specific, observable behaviors from the observer's notes. It avoids adjectives and emotional language and stays evidence-based. **Is EduEval FERPA-compliant?** Yes. Enterprise-grade encryption, FERPA-aligned handling, and adherence to local data privacy regulations. Full statement at https://schoolsolutions.app/legal/ferpa. **Can we use EduEval for informal walkthroughs as well as summative evaluations?** Yes. The same workflow handles 5-minute walkthroughs and end-of-year summatives. **How long does it take to get up and running?** Most administrators are comfortable in a single session. --- ## Product 2: Pocket Principal **URL:** https://schoolsolutions.app/products/pocket-principal **App:** https://pocket.schoolsolutions.app **Category:** AI advisory for school leaders **Status:** Live Pocket Principal is an AI-powered advisory app built specifically for K–12 principals. It is the experienced colleague principals can call at 6 a.m. or during a walkthrough — context-aware guidance on the staff conversations, compliance questions, and parent communications that can't wait for a callback from central office. ### Capabilities - **Staffing & HR:** Prep for difficult staff conversations, disciplinary meetings, and performance reviews. - **Compliance & policy:** Quick-reference answers on FERPA, IEP obligations, Title IX, district policy language. - **Instructional leadership:** Sounding board for curriculum, coaching plans, and instructional priorities. - **Crisis & communications:** Draft parent letters, staff memos, and community updates in the principal's voice. - **Data & planning:** Turn assessment, attendance, and discipline data into action steps. - **Always available:** Installs as a PWA; no app store, no office hours. ### How it is different from ChatGPT Pocket Principal is grounded in K–12 leadership realities: FERPA, IEPs, evaluation cycles, union considerations, and the role definitions principals work within. It does not require the principal to prompt-engineer their way to a usable answer. ### FERPA stance FERPA-aligned. The platform is designed for leadership guidance, not student records management; principals are advised not to enter student-identifiable information. --- ## Product 3: NovaTeach **URL:** https://schoolsolutions.app/products/novateach **Status:** In development — waitlist open NovaTeach is a professional development platform for teachers, built on insights from EduEval observation data. Planned capabilities include personalized PD pathways tied to a teacher's own observation data, coaching workflows with goal tracking and meeting notes, and structured PLC (professional learning community) workflows that turn collaboration into practice rather than meetings. No launch timeline yet. The waitlist signals demand and surfaces early users. --- ## Blog: The Administrator's Edge **URL:** https://schoolsolutions.app/blog A weekly publication for K–12 school leaders. Topics: instructional coaching, teacher evaluation, AI in education, and the tools worth a busy administrator's time. ### Stop Grading Teachers.
